Howdy! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Life has thrown me for multiple loops and blogging has, obviously, fallen by the wayside as I cope. I can’t promise I’ll be more regular, but thought I’d share an interesting...

As I get older (smacks gums), I find the need to simplify my life. I’ve been doing a lot of communing with spirit the last few weeks and have come to at least one conclusion: it’s time to stop selling my books directly. To that end...
I am an inveterate list-maker and note-taker. There are scratch pads and pens all over the house so I don’t have to go hunting for something to write a thought on. For my writing, I’ve used spiral-bound notebooks – one for each...
Since my eyes got bad a little over a year ago, I’ve had to listen to books rather than read. (It’s frustrating.) Having listened to a couple of hundred audiobooks over that span, I have a pretty decent idea of what constitutes good...
If you follow me on social media, you know it got cold here last weekend: down to 1°F Saturday morning – very unusual for Georgia! Thankfully, our house is nicely insulated so we stayed warm, despite the furnace not quite being able to keep...
I am going to have one helluva eyestrain headache by the time I’m done but I can’t stay quiet. In the last week, since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the most egregious decision I can remember, I’ve seen no fewer...
‘Twas the night before Christmas And all through the house The creatures were stirring Holy shit, it’s a mouse! The stockings were hung by the chimney with care The cats searched for treats They are no longer there. The children weren’t...
I wanted to celebrate the release of Reinventing Herself last week (it came out on Tuesday) but…shipping delays and all that. So, let’s do it this week! In the book, Ellen’s dog, Cooper, is a Newfoundland/Retriever mix. (I adore...
Ellen once again…for the last time. Today, I’ll talk about things to do in Fannin County that I have no interest in pursuing: outdoor activities. As much as I like being outdoors in my garden, I’m not much of an adventuress. I know others...
Ellen here again, with reasons why I love living where I do…and reasons for you to visit. This time, I’m covering things to do with your family. My kids have flown the nest but at some point, I hope they give me grandchildren. I want to be...
Hi. El here again, talking about living in the mountains of north Georgia. Last time, I told you why I wanted to move here. Now, I’ll talk about what keeps me here. (Besides the peace and quiet, that is.) If you read DJ’s book about me...
My name is Ellen Mackay and I’m hijacking DJ’s blog for the next few weeks. She wrote a story about me but didn’t truly give you any background. I want to rectify that. However, a warning. I’m going to talk about the wonders of the mountains of...
